Christ is no Partial Savior
The Bible reveals the shocking truth that sinners can be saved by grace alone, without the works of the law. Any attempt on our part to work for God's favor reveals a condition of unbelief.

One Perfect Life
This reminds us that there are many ways that people seek to be righteous in God's sight, but any way other than the cross of Christ leaves people lost in their sin. Only Jesus can save us from our sins and give us the gift of eternal life.

The Fullness of the Cross
The Bible says that we have all gone astray and are by nature lost. Thankfully, it also tells us the way to return home to God. That way is the cross of Jesus Christ. By looking to the cross we see the love of God and the gracious way that he restores us

New Beginnings
It is easy for Christians to get off of track and spend many long weeks, months, or even years wondering in the wilderness. It is important for us at such times to remember that God can give us a new beginning and restore us to our first love.
